Salon Kitty opening number.......thinking of all the 'gender' issues in the Media, recently........What's a "Man"....What's a 'Woman'?

 Discussing 'acting families' with a friend, earlier today.......my friend made no mention of 'The Foxes'.....my favorite family of actors:

Edward Fox, James Fox and Robert Fox are the sons of actress, Angela Fox (Scandal in Black), and agent, Robin Fox. Robert became a producer. He was married to casting director, Celestia Fox (the Remains of the Day) from 1975 to 1990. He married Natasha Richardson in 1990. They divorced two years later.

James Fox (Performance, King Rat, The Golden Bowl) and Edward Fox (Gandhi, Stage Beauty) each became actors. In 1973, James married Mary Elizabeth Piper. Their children, Laurence Fox (Elizabeth the Golden Age), Jack Fox (Inspector Lewis), and Lydia Fox (Submarine) each became actors. In 2007, Laurence married actress, Billie Piper (Doctor Who). That same year, Lydia married actor, Richard Ayoade (the IT Crowd).

Edward married actress, Tracy Reed (Dr. Strangelove) in 1958. They divorced three years later. He married Joanna David (You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger) in 2004. Their children, Emilia Fox (Ballet Shoes) and Freddie Fox (St. Trinian’s II, Cucumber, Banana) each became actors. Emilia was married to actor, Jared Harris (the Curious Case of Benjamin Button) from 2005 to 2010. Jared is the son of actor, Richard Harris (Gladiator, A Man Called Horse) and the stepson of actor, Rex Harrison (My Fair Lady).

MY FASHION OBSERVATION OF THE ACADEMY AWARDS SHOW, FIVE YEARS AGO....IN ANTICIPATION OF WHATEVER WILL BE THIS YEAR.......

 Lupita Nyong’o in custom Atelier Versace (Ugh!); Emily Blunt in Schiaparelli Haute Couture with 'loaned' Chopard jewelry! (Zzzz!"); Haley Bennett in Christian Dior (did someone clean out my lawnmower chute?); Sally Hawkins in Armani Privé with 'loaned' Chopard Jewelry (made her look like an Auschwitz survivor with shoulder pads); Molly Sims in Naeem Khan (standard bleached blonde, Dynasty Hooker costume); Nicole Kidman in Armani Privé, Harry Winston jewelry and Christian Louboutin shoes (she can carry this off, if anyone can....She's that 'in charge'); (a few 'perfectly tastefully Hollywoodish predictable Zac Posen (with great reservation about Andra Day's super hideous Zac Posen getup) and Christian Siriano {but I'll have eternal nightmares over 'Whoopi Goldberg in Christian Siriano'}); some boring 'Label' getups from Louis Vuitton; a 'hot' Jennifer Lawrence in Metropolis Metallic Dior and equally 'hot' bookend,

Gal Gadot in Givenchy and Tiffany & Co. jewelry; Saoirse Ronan in 'what's to criticize about it....the ubiquitous bow?" Calvin Klein.....more 'borrowed' jewelry...... ; how about a 'male'....well....how about Timothée Chalamet in Berluti's Prom Night 'too short stovepipe pants with too-long black, side-zippered boots'; Camila Alves in Vivienne Westwood (so, that's where the old table cloths and napkins that I tossed went!.....over a 1950's tulle party dress...); Viola Davis, actually 'rockin' a Pepto Bismol Pink Michael Kors 'Collection'; was 'Gucci punishing' Salma Hayek, or is her taste that bad?; Helen Mirren looked better on the Jet Ski float, than in that old blue-gray flannel sheet; Tony Ward issued some 'last year's style' gowns, cut to the withered umbilical cord attachment point, and beyond....Betty Gabriel, still marketing 'tit tape';

Leslie Bibb in J. Mendel, doing her 'sure thing', mimic-walking the ghosts of J. Mendel's posthumous Dior....hmm....borrowed from Charlize Theron's Couture collection?; Allison Janney in Reem Acra looked like a model of 'good taste and refinement' after being assaulted by Vera Wang's assault, with Taraji. P Henson's willing 'slit to the clit' collaboration....;Adam Rippon, without socks....a pet peeve of mine......gets my 'most tacky and tasteless' B&D award...stick to those 'butt statement' ice skating costumes, Adam!...even though you're gunning for Johnny Weir's job[s]; Then, there were a few 'wins', but that's no fun, is it? I still don't understand why these actresses. that get paid millions of bucks/picture.....still have to 'borrow' jewelry to wear! and everything else! Shout out to Frances McDormand...for 'no mention' of 'Who She's Wearing'!
